I'd buy any reputable brand; shouldn't have to worry too much about what HDD to buy.

You have to keep in mind that a PS3 can only read drives formatted FAT32, not NTFS. Some external (WD MyBook) are already formatted FAT32, while others (Seagate, what I currently have), will have to be formatted to FAT32 upon purchase, before your PS3 can read it.
